Missing separator in Makefile?

Question

The following Makefile is not working and I am not sure what\'s going on.

CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -Wall -g

demo:
    ${CC} ${CFLAGS} demo.c -o demo
lib:
    ${CC}         


        

Answer 1

Do you miss some "tab" (\t) before ${CC} by any chance?

Often my editor will replace tabs by spaces and I'd get this message.

CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -Wall -g

demo:
[TAB]${CC} ${CFLAGS} demo.c -o demo
lib:
[TAB]${CC} ${CFLAGS} lib.c -o lib
clean:
[TAB]rm -f lib demo
